Discover the CCUA's Webinar Wednesday series, designed to bring educational insights, innovative solutions, and member-focused services directly to you. Held on Wednesdays of each month, this series features timely topics and expert perspectives to keep credit unions ahead in a dynamic industry.
AI is reshaping financial institutions, but true impact comes from strong leadership and clear strategy, not just technology. This session will show FI executives how to leverage AI to remove friction, modernize operations, and elevate both member and employee experiences. We’ll introduce a practical framework for identifying inefficiencies across digital channels, branch and contact center workflows, and back-office processes, helping leaders understand where automation delivers the greatest value.
Attendees will learn how to balance AI-driven automation with human expertise, design scalable processes that accelerate innovation, and build an actionable crawl-walk-run roadmap. Through real examples and strategic insights, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how to guide your institution through digital transformation, strengthen organizational alignment, and unlock measurable ROI.
Whether your AI journey is just beginning or rapidly expanding, this session equips you with leadership strategies to stay competitive and future-ready.
